Hey guys!
Ever since I upgraded my radio to 3.27 whenever I visit google via pie it is in german, once in spanish. From google.com to query results. Sometimes a soft reset seems to fix it. sometimes it doesn't. I have recently downgraded back to the 2.17 rom and subsequent radio version but still have the error from tim to time. I am dumbfounded.
I have the same thing, I have searched everywhere in the phone and can't figure out how to change it.
I first noticed this problem on my Sprint Touch, with a stock rom. I have had it happen at random on my Mogul while using the stock rom and custom roms. To get it back to English real quick, learn to read German lol:
If you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the main google page you will see three links. Pick the one called "Einstellungen". On the next page you will see a selection box that has Deutsch, change that to "Englisch". Then scroll down till you see the greenish box that says Speichern, click it. You'll be back to English . Until it switches again.
After upgrading to 2.3.2 (I think that was when it happened), www.google.com came up in Spanish the first time I went to it. It's been normal since then though.
I believe this is a result of the IP address you're getting from Sprint, or at least one of the servers Sprint it routing us through, being from a different country. When google.com/m comes up in a different language for me, I try running speedtest.net which indicates that my nearest speedtest server is in Mexico or Germany or... I haven't really taken the time to figure out exactly what's going on since a disconnect/reconnect almost always gets me back to a local server.
Cliced the "englegluken" button at the bottom and all is well. Thanks!
So have we figured it out? has anyone had this issue WITHOUT upgrading the rom?

I've been running on this awhile. A few weeks ago, I noticed that my GPS just stopped working. Ie meaning that it was working before, and I made zero changes and now none of the GPS applications can detect that there is a GPS.
I'm looking for the most painless recommendation that I can do to get it working.
A. Do I need to flash a new radio rom and then do another set of the GPSFix using the windows tools again?
B. Do I need to upgrade both the rom and radio at the same time (ugh ...)
C. Is there another reason for the fact it no longer works, such as the IP address changed for assisted GPS or anything and I could just change it?
Anything you can offer would help. I went through a few pages of the 70+ page posts here on these subjects but couldnt find anything relating to prior working phones randomly stop working.
I will say that my friend is also on Verizon, has a mogul, I think he has a similiar radio and firmware and his has stopped working as well, so my guess is something has change carrier side and we're just not in the know =)
Thanks in advance for any points, and no flames for not being magical and finding the right post with the answer already in it ..
I just went through the latest updates to the AGPS article at:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix
I have updated the IP address to the one listed there (mine was different), and still no luck.
Working now. Had to restart it twice, turn location on and off and on again, and then let it sit for awhile. I just didnt have the patience.
I think I am having the same problem as everyone else with the Alltel TP GPS. I have absolutely no luck finding satellites in my hometown, yet if I travel out of my hometown I can get signal 99% of the time. I tried locking in while I was driving back from work (Ocala, FL) to my hometown (Sarasota, FL) and it worked all the way to my house. As soon as I turned I turned Google Maps off it couldn't find me anymore.
I have tried all the tricks to make it work including the obvious "turn on my location".
If anyone have a solution that works please let me know. I have heard that if you use the Alltel Nav program then the GPS picks up very well, so there must be something there.
can anyone help?
if you are running stock rom its a little finniky at GPS but if your running a custom rom then its a lot better... also the stock radio seems to be little strange...
if your not running stock what are you running?
do you have quick gps installed?
I am using the stock rom. I am not familiar with other ROMs, I haven't looked into that aspect of it yet. What is the best ROM for an Alltel phone (IYO)? Do the other roms still use TouchFLO? Am a very graphic person, so I like the prettyness of TF3D.
i had problems getting a satellite lock in my home town when i had my 6800 with my tp its much better i am running energy rom found here over at ppcgeeks http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=69545. i really think it just has to do with the area/amount of towers. there has been some discussion about needing gps services turned on on alltels side. Saying that if you sign up for there navigation service they will open up gps and then cancel service(i have never used their service and get gps). It sometimes would take awhile for me to get a lock and then only pick up one or two satelites then out of area i would pick up a bunch. have u tried htc gps tool? also check out visual gpsce. try all different radios too. im curently running the vzw rapael radio found here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=46616. once you flash over your alltel radio u will not be able to flash it back stock since the alltel radio has not been dumped yet (something i was not aware of when i flashed). im going to bet though if you unlock your phone and flash a custom rom your gps lock will be better. good luck!
I installed ConFlippers Rom for the Alltel TPs and I like it a lot, but it didn't do anything to help my GPS lock.
Changing doesn't always helps. Conflippers is a great rom because its exclusive for alltel and is very easy to flash because everything works. With conflippers you need to install "htc gps tool". Then once you have it do the following: select "clear memory" ->open for 15 sec.->close->select "cold or warm start" ->open 10 sec.->check nav init.->check your satellites. If you got green then go to google maps or whatever program you are trying to use gps for.
If you would like to try a different rom then sometimes simply cycling the location setting from on to off then back on again or soft reset is in order. Keep your quick gps up to date.
There is not one fix for all gps problems for the t-Pro. You will find a routine that works and it will no longer be a problem. One thing that works 100 percent of the time is with the stock rom, paying for alltel nav will give you locks instantly in any program at anytime.
I'm using Nfsfan's CDMA Touch Pro Rom
I install the Alltel Carrier Cab and MMS cab in my faq
when I flash it to make it work 100% with Alltel.
(mms=Picture/vid messaging)
The link to my faq is in my signature.
Also, in post one of my signature there is a link to a post I've made
describing what's vga compatible and what's not
till I finish getting everything for my TouchPro Faq.

Thanks for the help, I am still lost tho. I tried to do what you said but when I clicked on "nav. init." it said "please open com port first.."
Could you please walk me thru a little further I'm kinda slow

Well, I've had my Alltel Touch Pro for about 6 hours now, so I'm hardly an expert (coming from my eternally flashed and reflashed PPC-6800) but, here's my experience with GPS:
Bought the Touch Pro from the Alltel corporate owned store. Walked outside to my car and got in. Went into the phone settings and turned Location On. Popped my Garmin Mobile XT (bought retail, not cracked) card out of my 6800 and into my Touch Pro. Let it install. Started up Garmin Mobile XT, got on the highway, and within a minute had a nice GPS lock.
Obviously, all on the stock Alltel ROM (no time to look into custom ROMs yet, I've only had it for a few hours!) So I can state that at least in my case the GPS worked fine out of the box without any sort of priming or tweaking. YMMV.
Yea, like I said mine works great everywhere I have been except for my hometown. I can even hook up to my bluetooth GPS receiver and it works great everywhere. Just can't seem to get a connection in (Sarasota, FL).
Having intermittent problems with my mobile internet and was wondering if it was the phone, other users or just plain crap signal.
Have anything between 2 to 5 bars here, hsdpa symbol on constantly but for some reason it occasionally gets stuck on the upload arrow and then the data connection freezes and wont come back on til I toggle mobile network or airplane mode.
Phone is running modaco 2.2c and latest radio on T-Mobile UK.
Hi. Been lurking around since I got my Hero, and thought it was about time I signed up to this excellent forum.
I was having exactly the same problem. Didn't know whether it was a problem with the Hero or the network/signal. I noticed that the APN settings on my Hero were different to the t-mobile site. I read around a bit and tried a few combinations of settings and eventually got it sussed.
Go to t-mobile.co.uk
Hover over "Help & Support" at the top and click "Phone Support". Click "Make the most of your mobile" and choose the G2.
Click on "Set up the phone for internet surfing" and enter the details shown there exactly in a new APN on your Hero.
The only change to those details is the password should be "pass".
This is the only APN setting i have tried that doesn't give me the original problem. Now I can browse without the 3g signal getting "stuck"
I'm using an unlocked Hero - completely stock btw.
Hope this helps. Let me know how you get on.
I've been having this very problem. That's good information, I'll give it a try.
Seems to work well. Here's the link.
thanks for pointing me there.
k i altered my settings, will test it thru day see if it improves.
Ooh, seems to be working so far. Seems I owe you a beer. Lol.
After a day or two using this 'fix' I find it the drop still happens sometimes but not as often.

Did you change the password to "pass" ? That is the most important bit.
Changed the password lets see what happens.

No. That's not the password given on the T-Mobile site.
I have an HD2 that I purchased from O2 Ireland. I switched to 3 Ireland about two months ago due to an unlimited data deal. I just changed sim cards and everything worked; phone, data, wifi.
I flashed the latest stock rom 3.14.206.1(04666)WWE that would work with my phone. It's the stock rom for the O2 HD2. Since flashing, I cannot get a data connection. The phone works fine so I know the phone isn't locked to O2, but when I go to Connection Settings, the only choice in the drop down menu is O2!
Is there any way to bypass this so that I can set the phone up automatically to three? Is there perhaps some other work around. Imagine, an unlimited data plan and I can't use it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, I gotta ask: You are in Ireland but your flag shows US?
I found some settings here, they are for a different device, but may help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-315848.html
Search for (its on these forums in several places, I've posted it myself before now, but i'm afk) connectionsetup.cab, or extract one from the unbranded 3,14 rom if you know your way around a kitchen.
It has pretty much all the networks in it. You can uninstal it after its done its thing to save 12 or so meg.
Install it, reboot, it will auto run, uninstal it.

The answer is quite simple; living in Ireland, born and raised in Brooklyn.
Thanks for the settings, now if I can just figure out how to get my Leo to take the settings.

Thanks very much for that. I found an HTC connectionsetup.cab and installed it on my phone for the 3 network Ireland, excellent!
BUT! When I open Opera I just get a white screen, nothing comes up, I can't even get a search page. I tried opening Marketplace and the error message came that it couldn't connect to the server. Any ideas please?
Edit: Problem solved thanks to you both! Since running connectionsetup (samsamuel) I was able to put in the 3 network settings (stevedebi) manually. I've even got the mms settings in and tested. Many thanks to you both! How I love this forum!
Hey guys after finally getting my insurance payout for my first Titan I can gladly report im back with another Titan from play.com. There are a few issues though.
UPDATE : Stuck on stock 7720 that came with the phone. It was a sim free unbranded phone. Zune refuses to find an update and says im upto date. Well I was on 81xx on my old unbranded UK phone so I know this is wrong. Any thoughts?
WiFi : my WiFi is absolutely terrible. Connection is fine, strength is great. But browsing pages, metrotube, an IE use just fails either completely or after 1 page. Also noticed IE will load 1 YouTube video then when I click play on the next nothing happens. Its as if the cache is full maybe? This is with DATA CONNECTION OFF. I only use data when WiFi is playing up.
HTC Youtube app : as most people know the app is removed from the marketplace. I knew this when I had my first titan. But as I had that pre installed every update I ran never removed it. Are there any cabs for it around / xaps? Will I need to be dev / interop unlocked?
Cheers Terry

I had a problem with Wifi abit like that, which went away when I flashed to a custom from but obviously YMMV
And for htc youtube app you would need to be unlocked to side load, best bet is to flash a custom rom then you can side load xaps to your hearts content. Unless you have a Microsoft developer account This will also put you on 8773.98 or similar.

Thanks for the confirmation
I have managed to get 8773.98 using the Disable internet while checking for updates technique to force the update.
One question, Is it better to do a factory reset of my phone after doing such alot of updates to my phone? Or will functionability be fine without i have heard mixed responses on this.
Haven't check the WiFi on this update yet but im still getting 'connection error' on facebook whether im on Wifi or Data, this annoyed me back when i updated my previous titan and i see it hasn't been fixed.
Now, I have been looking to 'unlock' my titan anyway. I have read if im on 8773 i can't use HSPL anymore is this true? Is there any other 'unlock' method that isn't budget blowing. Not really keen on unlocking my phone just for the HTC Youtube app. As i only want this because of Aesthetics

1. You can do a factory reset if you want, but that will lose everything (as in SMS and game saves). Its your choice.
2. The WiFi/3G problem is an OS problem, nothing we can do about it except only turn on one connection at a time.
3. You can't use HSPL because 8773 comes with a 4.6 bootloader update which has higher security. If you want an alternative youtube app, metrotube is the way to go.
I was in the same boat as you, but I chose not to tinker with it if its working. The WiFi 3G isnt affecting me at all, it uses WiFi when I'm at home, I don't turn it off but I do go out everyday and it handles connections just fine. I have gone to 8773 but it was laggy on my Titan (like avatar animation is sluggish while moving, and doing a factory reset causes the capacitive buttons unresponsive) so I'm back to 8107.
If you want to go further you can install custom ROM, but the thing that I'm afraid about if future updates (I know, WP8's out of the closet but that doesn't mean we're not getting anymore future updates). The only caveat is you have to make sure the next update works with the custom ROM, else it'll either brick or broken.
